Clark, the postmas ter, for her efficiency and ability. She was member of the class of 'S8 of the Hillhouse High school, New Haven, and expected tc graduate next spring. The burial services were held in Plymouth church on Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. F. Saunders, who spoke feelingly of the loss which was gus tained by the removal of this young lady from usefulness and society.
